Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp appreciates the work of past Anfield managers.

Klopp admits he envies those fans who followed Liverpool during the Shankly era.

Asked what makes Liverpool so special, Klopp told liverpoolfc.com: “It's the history.

“If you ask me which time I'd want to go [back to] I would have loved to go to Bill Shankly's time for a few days, to see how it was and feel how it made the club.

“This whole region is obviously completely football-mad. Having such a fantastic football team that creates dreams and stories – life is all about dreams and stories – I know is so important for all the people in the region. And I know it's like this all over the world. This club stands for family, hard work and dreams."

He continues: “I love the feeling the club gives to so many people around the world. They appreciate what we are doing.

“It's really nice when we play a Champions League game at Porto and you know they are all watching, even when the other channel has Real Madrid v PSG! The Liverpool people all watched it – and that you can then deliver a performance like that is so cool."
